The difference in the amount of pensions is twofold: where in Ukraine they pay more



[ad_1]

In Ukraine, the size of pensions in different regions differs several times. In the capital, on average, they receive 4.7 thousand UAH, while in the Chernihiv region only 2.2 thousand UAH.

This is indicated in the reference data of the Pension Fund of Ukraine. The size of the pension depends on only two indicators: the length of service and the size of the salary. Considering that the median salary in Kiev is traditionally higher than in other regions, it also has the highest median pension.

What are the pensions in Ukraine?

The average size of pensions is 3.5 thousand UAH. Traditionally, judges receive more – 67.9 thousand UAH. They, unlike ordinary Ukrainians, receive payments according to special rules.

Remember that Ukrainian retirees who now receive at least 9,090 UAH, after March 1, can claim an increase of about 1,000 UAH. In total, the new calculation will affect 8 million Ukrainians (out of 11.4 million pensioners) and the average increase will be 308 UAH.

As OBOZREVATEL reported, as of July 1, the minimum wage for people with disabilities will increase by 85 UAH. As a result, the minimum pension will increase by 85 UAH to 1,854 UAH, and the maximum pension – from 850 UAH to 18,540 UAH.
